Symmetry™ TLM®
Threat Level Manager

In our changing world there are new security threats that can potentially affect any organization, but particularly those in government and military sectors. Security teams need to react instantly to changing circumstances and adjust security levels accordingly.

Symmetry Threat Level Manager (TLM) is a management software module that can be purchased to compliment V5 (or later) software. Building security can be completely reconfigured at the click of a button.

It allows security to be enhanced when there is an increased threat from criminal or terrorist activities, during fire evacuation or during times of limited occupancy, such as holiday or site shutdown periods.

Five threat levels are selectable, each of which can be given its own name and color code and customized to provide a different level of security. Changing the threat level can determine the card holders who are allowed to gain access, the areas they can access and the operation of security equipment around the building. If required readers can, for example, be switched to card and PIN or fingerprint mode and scheduled or conditional operations that are normally used to relax site security can be suspended.

The ability to change the level of security prevents unnecessary inconvenience at times of low threat, and helps to remind staff to maintain vigilance during periods of high threat. Symmetry TLM should be used by any organization requiring compatibility with Government policies for managing and responding to changes in threat.
